Episode Details

In recent years, the United States Supreme Court has dramatically expanded religious rights, often favoring religion over other competing fundamental rights. Just last June, it expanded an employee’s right to religious accommodation in the workplace under federal civil rights law.

How will this expansion of religious rights impact businesses in cases involving the conflict between religious freedom and other competing rights like those of LGBTQ+? What about cases involving religious objections to mandatory vaccination? Or cases involving discussions surrounding abortion?

Larry Zicklin (BBA ‘57) discusses these questions with Professor Debbie Kaminer of the Zicklin School of Business Law Department. They are joined by Professor Lucien Dhooge the Sue and John Staton Professor of Law at the Scheller College of Business at the Georgia Institute of Technology. With an introduction by Dean Bruce Weber and a Q&A session moderated by Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb).
